Princesa Sugehit

Princesa Sugehit has two distinct advantages going into the Mae Young Classic.

One comes from the fact that she is one of the few competitors in the tournament who can lay appropriate claim to the term “veteran.” A pro since 1996, Sugehit has competed at the highest level for Mexico’s two biggest promotions — AAA and CMLL — for more than two decades, and is the reigning Mexican National Women’s Champion.

Two is that Princesa Sugehit is the Classic’s only luchadora. Trained in the great Mexican wrestling tradition, this masked marvel is a dangerous and highly skilled flier — the butterfly on her hood is a nod to her ability to soar beautifully through the air — and simply unpredictable between the ropes. Her opponents won’t know what’s coming next, but Princesa Sugehit will — victory.
